JETS, JETS, JETS!!!!
Everybody loves Canada's old new favorite hockey team, The Winnipeg Jets. Welcome home boys! Now, I know that the Winnipeg Jets have maybe not done as well as what was expected from all the fans and people who have been working very hard to bring back the Jets and wanted them to excel this season. To me, the fact that they now have lost every one of there regular season games is not a huge shock. When the team came back to Winnipeg they did not have a winning record or the players needed to make a great Stanley Cup winning team. Also if you think about how incredibly overwhelming it would be for the athletes who are used to playing in an arena where they didn't even get a half a sold out crowd for a playoff game to a sold out crowd with millions watching for a exhibition game, it would be very intimidating.
So why all the hype? I love it, I am a fan of the Jets coming back to Winnipeg. I think it is great for the town and we should be proud of our teams. I think also that I love cheering for the Jets because of what they stand for. They are a team that is doing the best they can with what they've got, and it might not be a winning team, yet... but at least they aren't like the Toronto Maple Leafs who should have made the playoffs for the past five years but don't. If you think about it, it is pretty ridiculous that the Leafs play in front of sold out crowds every night and have all the money that a team could want and fails every year to produce a winning team. You might not know by the sounds of it, but I am a Leafs fan (a curse in my family) but my goodness is it frustrating to watch them loose when they shouldn't be, where as the Jets; maybe are not winning as many games as they should be, but you can tell they play with heart, they appreciate the people that are coming to watch and to me; they deserve to win a lot more than some of the other teams in the NHL right now.
